Problem #1

File:  Download hw-16-q1.py

Use the weather.get_report block to answer the following question about a city:
"Is a snowstorm happening at the moment?"
For this problem, consider that a snowstorm may be happening if:

  • The temperature is lower than or equal to 32.
  • Humidity is above 80.
  • Wind is higher than 30.

Use this logic to calculate whether Seattle is going through one. Print "Yes" if it is, print "No" if it isn't.

Problem #2

Using the wind speed and the temperature, you can approximate the "feels like" temperature.
The formula is roughly: windchill = temperature - wind ** 0.7
Notice that the "**" operator is the "raising to a power" operator.
Use the formula to answer: What is the "feels like" temperature in Blacksburg?

Problem #3

Using the formula from question 2. Answer the following question: Which city has the higher "feels like" temperature: Blacksburg or New York? Print the name of the city as response, or "Same" if appropriate.
